Aside from doing a course update, it also allows you to automatically update the score of your rounds. However, we come to the next issue:

If you are charging through the USB port on the computer, please try charging directly through a wall charger for 4 hours.

Golf Buddy Aim W11 Review:- Conclusion Out on the course, the aim W12 recognises when you have reached the green. It would often ask if you had finished the hole when near the green. If you ignore the question it will automatically progress onto the next hole when you’re on the next tee. This is a really useful feature if you’re using the watch purely for distance. You can set things up on the first tee and just let it run through the round.

Its pre-loaded 40,000 courses and the fact that it is wirelessly upgradeable definitely make this watch stand out from its competitors. Layup arc feature has been added as of April 2017. Please update your device if you do not have this feature. Please access the Main Menu by pressing the "Menu" button on the unit, or by touching the "Main Menu" selection from the "Locating Satellites" screen.

Golfbuddy didn’t put a lot of effort into making a good software. One – the mobile app is absolutely garbage. It didn’t do anything and as of today, I was put on notice that they were dumping the old app and created a new one called One Caddie which looked a lot better. BUT. You need to pay for it. Like RM14 per month. Isn’t the whole point of getting this damn watch is to NOT pay for caddies, virtual or human otherwise? Stylish and Practical design: Including interchangeable screen display options- 8 different time display choices available ranging from classic to digital. Green undulation displays the gradation of the slope of the green through different colors - blue being the lowest point of incline and red being the highest. This addition will you a more realistic view of the course, resulting in more precision.

Design: stylish and practical comfy design- with 8 interchangeable time display designs to choose from. Preloaded with 40,000 courses worldwide with free updates: Preloaded with 40,000 courses in over 170 countries with free wireless course updates via Bluetooth with the smartphone app. After a short time, your GolfBuddy unit should show an icon on the screen indicating it is connected to the computer. This display is incredibly helpful; I was able to use it to line up my putts better than ever before! Battery wise it’s quite durable – without playing golf, it can last for days, and for golf, I think around 2 rounds is easily possible.

Automatic course and hole recognition: The GPS automatically recognises what course and hole you are playing on. The Golf Buddy also has an auto-hole advance feature that will automatically move to the next hole when you cross over into another fairway. The screen is absolutely gorgeous, and the colors are clear even when I’m outside in bright sunlight! Other than that, it does a few other items like measuring your shot distance (but you need to remember to turn it on), putting in your scores (and putts) but strangely, nothing else. It also has a rather convoluted way to measure the hole lay up distances and also hazard, which annoys the crap out of me. After looking at what the S40 does, I begin to see why this W11 cost so much lesser, the interface isn’t that intuitive after all. I personally don’t use a GPS watch when playing on a course for which I have already uploaded all my data because there’s no need, but I can see how this would be a problem for some people.Once completed, you will see a blue icon labeled "GolfBuddy World Course Manager" on your desktop that you will use to access the GB Manager once you have registered. Select the Tool icon and you will see a category called "Select Time Zone. "You can select your desired Time Zone here. During the game, I found myself using it a lot – in fact, almost every stroke except chipping and putting. The simple distance to green is primarily used 95% of the time. I hardly tinker around with the other features, except for after the whole to input my score and the number of putts I did. You can search courses by country, state, and city. You can also look up when the course was last updated.

If you are still experiencing issues, please try the emergency reboot using your computer. Please make sure the unit is powered off. Please connect your USB cable to the computer, without the unit being connected. Please hold down the MENU button. As you are holding the MENU button, please connect your unit to the USB cable. Once the EMERGENCY REBOOT message displays on the screen, please release the MENU button but leave your unit connected to the USB cable until the process is complete. So the competitor of the W11 Golf Buddy basically comes down to the S10 or S12 from Garmin, and that’s pretty much it. Without touch screen or color display, the choice is pretty obvious. For a while there was this colorless but touch-screen enabled Bushnell ION Edge that was selling for around RM700 in Lazada but now it has shot up to 1.4k, so no thanks. If you want to be able to keep up with the other golfers in your club, then it’s important that you have all the latest gadgets and gear.

The touch screen functioned well even when my hands were sweaty or dirty during play; however, I did notice that sometimes the touch feature didn’t work as expected if moisture got between the screen and my skin. I also like that this function is very easy to use because it’s just a matter of scrolling through different screens and pressing buttons on the side of your watch rather than fiddling with complicated menus. Once you see the EMERGENCY REBOOT screen, please release the Menu button but leave your unit connected to the USB cable until the process completes. The distance layups are shown as 100, 150, 200 yards or meters from hole, following the current unit setting (refer to section 3.6). It makes it very easy to see the entire hole at once, and I never had any problems with it not working properly.
